		<ol class="rom_num">
			<li>
				Two halves of a comparator B, C, topview.</li>
			<li>
				B, C – their section; &part; – a fragment of a longitudinal section showing
				how parts are placed between steel wires.</li>
		</ol>
		<img src="../Picture/Komp.png" alt="" class="img3" />
		<p>
			The comparator consists of two frames – an upper and a lower one (the upper one
			is on the left and the lower one is on the right side of the picture. Each frame
			corresponds to some essence.
		</p>
		<p>
			There are several boards fastened to the wires. The boards are the signs. In the
			initial position all the bars of both frames are on the right.
		</p>
		<p>
			Suppose we need to compare a pair of essence according to several signs. By moving
			the boardto the left we can indicate whether the essence has a corresponding sign.
			Then we place the upper frame on the lower one by selecting the signs in both frames.
		</p>
		<p>
			The dowels will fall if there is a hole under them.</p>
		<p>
			After placing the frames we can find out:
		</p>
		<ul>
			<li>
				which signs both essences have (the boards which were moved to the left made the
				dowels fall);
			</li>
			<li>
				which signs the first essence (which is indicated by the upper frame) has, but the
				second one doesn't (the dowels of the boards which were moved to the left went up);
			</li>
			<li>
				which signs the second essence (which is indicated by the lower frame) has, but
				the first one doesn't (the dowels of the boards which were moved to the right went
				up);
			</li>
			<li>
				which signs neither of the two essences has (the dowels of the boards which were
				moved to the right fell down).
			</li>
		</ul>
		<h1>
			The visualization of the functioning of a comparator</h1>
		<p>
			Indicate the presence/absence of signs for the essences by moving the boards of
			the table to the right/left. Use your mouse to click on the selected board which
			will make it move. Then press “Compare”. The frames will start to move with one
			covering the other.
